What kind of server? Servlets? Or does it implement a (custom) protocol?
When we first wrote it, it was a 3-tier JDBC and Event server, before J2EE was written.
We always tracked J2EE very closely and tried to have the
first commercial implementation of all the J2EE
protocols as they came out (we had the first working EJB implementation).
You can read about the current version at
http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/docs70/index.html , although I left BEA/WebLogic a while ago.

Great! That's actually on of the goals of the CDK project ;) To have people learn about chemoinformatics.

Yes, that should get you aquanted with the code base of Jmol... it should not be that hard, though... and was mostly put up as a reminder :) Nevertheless, please have a look at it, as it will require you to browse the code and find hidden global variables...

Preferably, as changes from the b6 branch in cvs...

To start with I would like to see them as unified diffs... If things work out for both the Jmol developers team and you, you will get a cvs account... Is that ok?
I quite understand. I wouldn't want a stranger mucking with my source tree either :-)
I have another question. I am able to successfully recompile Jmol 6.1 release with Ant
and run Jmol with no problem,
but when I tried to compile the tests in 6.1("ant test") I get a number of compile errors
in source-tests, due to missing symbols like:
org.openscience.jmol.ReaderFactory
org.openscience.jmol.ChemFileReader
and missing package
package com.baysmith.io
At first I thought this might a classpath problem but I really don't seem to have
the source or jars for some of these things, although there do seem to be analogous
files in org.openscience.jmol.io like
org.openscience.jmol.io.ReaderFactory.java. Any suggestions?
